Free Verse: Promise Me
Promise MePromise Me
Promise me this one thing
That you'll only look at me with your eyes
That you'll only leave the kiss in my cup
And I will not be drunk evermore
Promise me this one thing
And I'll promise you these things
Likewise I'll leave my kiss
And likewise promise that you will not be drunk
The stars, the moon, and the sun
Only for you I promise them
The fields, the flowers, and the meadows
Only for you I promise them
Do you see the raven flying in the sky
Nor the trees swaying in the wind?
Do you see the crows singing of their ballads
Nor the clouds gathering up?
Do doubts come when I say these things
Whom I only promise to you?
Hark, my beloved, let time be our hope
And patience be our guard
I promised you all these things
Of the heavenly stars, and the earthly ground
You need not to pledge me anything
Only your kiss will I only desire for myself
Please, let us cherish this little vow
Grant ourselves to one another
Offer our blood to the last gold goblet
Swear and keep it to our last breaths
